dear fellow AcousticSlutz I've finally finished 80% of the room and traps. I've installed 10 x 4" rigid RockWool traps á 45kg/m3 density each inside 12" light aluminium frames. Pictures to follow.
The rigid Rockwool is about 10"-12" back off the wall.
I'm sitting 38% back from the front wall with the nearfields and me forming a 140cm triangle.
The sound is impressive. Crisp tight and I can finally hear every reverb nuance previously only perceivable in the cans.
The slant is luckily at an angle that deflects ceiling reflections away from me. Only problem is.. I have NO low-bass in the room whatsoever (just the neighbourCharmer 20-60hz thump outside). Neither in corners nor in any other part of the room. Even immediately in front of the speakers the level of bass below 125hz is almost nonexistent.
Im hoping its the "true" sound of my nearfields bass limitations?!

Anyway, measurements and pics will follow. I wanna install another 5 traps to increase absorption behind the speakers and close up the space behind the listening position (quasi room-in-a-room thing).
